She bakes cupcakes. He breaks hearts. She's sunshine, sass, and secretly in love with her brother's best friend. He's Delhi's most untouchable CEO-cold to the world, but warm only for her. She fell first. Now it's his turn to fall... hard. Love You Always Have Slow burn. Soft love. Stolen glances. And a grumpy man who melts only for her.

"𝐼𝑛 𝑎 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑 𝑓𝑢𝑙𝑙 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑜𝑜𝑛𝑠, 𝑠ℎ𝑒'𝑠 𝑚𝑦 𝑠𝑢𝑛." 𝘿𝙞𝙮𝙖 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 is kind, too kind and strong in the way that makes people forget she bleeds too. Love was never expected, only endurance. So when her father asked her to marry she nodded... not out of hope, but habit. 𝙑𝙚𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙈𝙖𝙡𝙝𝙤𝙩𝙧𝙖, grew up in a home that taught him how to build empires but never taught him how to ask for a hug. Marriage was never part of the plan until a hospital room, a fading pulse, and the one man he could never disappoint whispered a final wish. Neither expected warmth. Neither expected understanding. And they definitely didn't expect comfort in each's other's silence. A tale of quiet yearning- an arranged marriage where silence becomes a language and love sneaks in when no one's looking. - M 💌

"She wanted freedom. He wanted peace. Love was never part of the plan." Aarav Mehra has everything-money, success, and a mother he adores more than anything. As a devoted son and a man forged in sacrifice, love and marriage have never been on his list. He's spent his life building a future for the woman who raised him alone. But when a marriage proposal lands in his bag-along with a photograph of a girl with the softest smile he's ever seen-his world begins to shift. Maya Reddy is 21, caged by the love of two overprotective parents who've never let her breathe. She doesn't dream of fairy tales or soulmates. She just wants out. For her, marriage is not about love-it's an escape plan. When Aarav and Maya meet through a traditional setup neither of them truly believes in, everything begins to burn-hesitations, ideals, and every line they swore they'd never cross. One wants freedom. The other wants control. One wants love. The other fears it. But fate doesn't ask for permission. This is not your average arranged marriage story. This is about passion born out of silence, love that begins with a no, and two hearts crashing in all the wrong places... just to find the right one.

For the past three years, she had been his personal assistant. Efficient, smart, and unfailingly reliable. From not even knowing how to work a coffee machine to anticipating what Aarav wanted before he even asked, she had grown so much. To most people, she seemed simply reserved, maybe even distant.
